[quote author=NDIrish link=topic=18009.msg213952#msg213952 date=1511204131]I was wondering about Bryce. i watched the beginning of the ןɐɔ game and then the end and noticed he wasn't in, but wasn't sure why.  Same injury he has had for awhile, or something new?

Love injured his ankle in the game against Oregon (10/14), missed the next game (our infamous near-defeat at Oregon State), and has been playing gimpy in all his games since. He's very clearly not fully healed, but still fast enough to score a 57-yard TD last game.

Love limped off the field multiple times vs. C.al, just as he had done vs. Washington the prior week.  He might miss a series or two, but he returned each time. A real warrior.

But the play that became his final carry was different.  Love re-injured his ankle on a 1 yard run early in the 4th quarter. You could see him on the ground, pounding the turf either in pain or in frustration because he knew that his day was done (or both). I guess Notre Dame will have to prepare as if he is going to play.  I'll be surprised if he is used as anything other than a decoy.
